Ethics and Boundaries for Direct Social Service Providers, Thursday, August 5, 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm, located at UW-Parkside's Tallent Hall (Orchard Room), 900 Wood Road, Kenosha, WI (Presenter:  Matthew Gebhardt)- Nonprofit organizations, who have direct social service providers face tremendous challenges.  Providing services to their clients in an often high-paced, stressful environment can leave the most competent professionals feeling overwhelmed.   In the midst of this environment, fundamental questions concerning how we relate to others as professionals become increasingly important to consider:  
  • How do I build trusting relationships with clients while maintaining healthy personal boundaries?
  • How do I foster a healthy work self, and what are signs that my personal boundaries interfere or inadvertently influencing my professional decisions?
  • Why do boundary violations occur?  How can I support a healthy professional work environment?
  • What is meant by "professional" and why should we care anyway?
  • Can I look at a client's Facebook page?  How does social media effect my professional boundaries?
 
This workshop will provide answers to those questions taking a fresh look at professionalism, ethics, and boundaries for direct social service providers.
